Chang Anqing

Chapter 62 Exogenous Branches
The next day, Emperor Yuancheng, in order to reward the soldiers who fought in the southwest, specially ordered Guanglu Temple to set up a banquet for thousands of people in the palace. Linde Hall, which does not lose the majesty of the country.Because only Yuancheng Emperor and the civil and military courtiers were at the banquet, Empress Yang and other concubines were naturally not suitable to participate as female dependents. Li Suinian thought that he had not entered the palace for a while, and now his first-class marriage was temporarily over, so Early in the morning, I went to greet my aunt Li Shi, and then took Niannu and Yunu to the palace.

As soon as he arrived at the Lizheng Hall, the interior of the hall was as it was before, but Li Sui felt that it was much brighter and more vibrant. There was no more dull and suffocating herbal smell as before. Instead, the faint floral fragrance made people feel relaxed and happy. Under the leadership of Gong E, Li Sui came to the side hall. , I saw that Empress Yang was still in good looks, wearing a magenta brocade embroidered chest-length wide-sleeved palace satin skirt, her right hand was leaning lazily on the armrest by the couch, and Shangguan Zhao, who was wearing a goose-yellow gold-embroidered rose waist-length folded skirt under her seat. Yi is holding a booklet in his hand, as if discussing something with Empress Yang.

Seeing Li Sui coming, Queen Yang's brows and eyes were gentle and she beckoned, Shangguan Zhaoyi on the side also looked over, Li Sui stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and Queen Yang said: "Aman, come quickly. "

Seeing Empress Yang stretch out her hand, Li Sui smiled and stepped forward. Shangguan Zhaoyi got up and saluted with a wink, "Since the princess has come to the palace to accompany His Highness, the ministers and concubines will not bother."

Empress Yang raised her hand when she heard the sound, and said in a naturally dignified and steady voice: "These days, for Princess Pengcheng's coming to Chang'an, you have been bothering, and all the regulations are just as you said. Since the saint and I have discussed this matter. I will give it to you, of course, I can rest assured."

"Yes."

When Shangguan Zhaoyi heard the words, he bowed his body again, and immediately said: "It is a blessing for the concubine to gain the trust of the saint and His Highness. How dare you say the word trouble."

Seeing Shangguan Zhaoyi leaving, Li Sui looked at the figure who disappeared at the entrance of the hall and asked, "When will the eldest princess enter Chang'an?"

"Counting the days, in about half a month, we will be able to reach Chang'an."

Hearing Empress Yang's answer, Li Sui nodded thoughtfully. At this time, Xiao Gong'e just brought Li Sui's favorite tea at Jiamo's order.

"Is Erlang better these days?"

Li Sui took a chrysanthemum cake and put it to his mouth. Hearing Queen Yang's words, he nodded, looked at Queen Yang's slightly worried eyes, and said, "It's done, sister, don't worry."

"That's fine."

Empress Yang nodded, and then sighed a bit in her words: "Fortunately, Baoying is a very good child, and I can rest assured that Erlang can be with her. I just hope Erlang doesn't go to the horns."

Seeing that the little lady in front of her just nodded silently, Empress Yang stopped saying anything and reached out to caress Li Sui's temples: "Now that Erlang's marriage is settled, you should be more concerned about your own."

Listening to Empress Yang talking about this, Li Sui instantly felt that the chrysanthemum cake in her hand became dull and tasteless.

Although she didn't want to admit it, what my sister said was the truth. Now that the matter between Yang Yan and Baoying has been settled, her marriage will only be more complicated.

For Empress Yang, she naturally thinks that she is applauded by marrying someone who loves and knows each other.But for Yang Chongyuan and her aunt, her marriage may not be that simple.

As for her, she has already made her own plans for her marriage.

At this moment, Li Sui knew very well that now that she had gotten rid of the Yang family, she must not choose one person based on her personal preference. If she wanted to truly protect the safety of Aye Aniang and the person she wanted to protect, in this turbulent environment In troubled times to do what she wants to do, she must have power.

What she has now is nothing but the title of the county master and the fief that keeps her wealthy, but if you look into it, all these are just given by others.

Because once stripped, she will have nothing left except this so-called noble blood.

So she didn't dare to tell Empress Yang that she was destined to have a political marriage like the previous one.

The only difference is that she didn't have a choice in the past, it was all arranged by others to be stuffed to her.

But now, she wants to hold this choice firmly in her hands.

Therefore, for her, getting married is not so much a matter of marrying two surnames, but it is more appropriate to find an ally who has common interests, can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and go hand in hand.

After all, others can ask for a couple for the rest of their lives, and it is a blessing for others to only talk about romance and unswerving love.But if she has lived two lives, is in such a situation, and still has such extravagant hopes, then it will be like dancing on a knife, and she will use this life to make a bet on the wind and moon.

Fortunately, love for her is nothingness.

It's a good thing not to have someone you like.

At least, she can have no worries, and she can be rigid if she has no desires.

……

After nightfall, Li Sui was left in the palace by Empress Yang for dinner, and then returned home.When the carriage stopped at the east gate of Taiwei's Mansion, the night was gradually falling. With the help of Niannu, Li Sui got off the carriage and headed towards Wuzhu Garden.In the midsummer night, the cool breeze blew past my ears, and I saw the tassels inlaid with treasure silk lamps being lit one by one, and the shadows of the lights fell on the eaves and green trees in the mansion, revealing a warm light.

When they reached the pebble road in front of the arched door, Li Sui's master and servant saw a familiar figure standing under the green leaves of the wisteria clinging to the stone door.

"Silver girl?"

The woman heard the sound and looked over, and her normally calm eyes rarely showed anxiety, which showed that she had been waiting for a long time on her way back to the hospital.

"I'll be back soon, the county master hasn't eaten yet."

When she was near, Yinniang bowed respectfully and spoke as usual, as if the anxiety that had just flashed had blinded her eyes.

But Li Sui knew that if Yinniang was so abnormal, something must have happened.

"Today, the small kitchen of the Chaolu Courtyard made a hump roast. The lady knew that the county owner liked this most, so she taught the servants to wait here, and asked the county owner to come back and have dinner together."

Hearing this, Li Sui nodded with a smile and said, "Aunt always loves me. To say that this hump burn is the best done by the people in the Chaolu Courtyard."

After speaking, Li Sui and Yinniang walked towards Chaolu Courtyard together.

When the maid lifted the curtain, Li Sui walked in, and could feel a cool coldness. Li Sui and Yinniang looked at each other, only to see Yinniang frown slightly, and shook her head a little embarrassedly.

"But with some merit, her Cao family regarded her son as a treasure."

Aunt Li's sneering voice could be heard through a carved flower gate, and even Li Sui could hear the unconcealed disdain in her aunt's mother tongue, which has always been self-confident.

You can see, it is very angry.

"Her Cao family is only from a small clan. If it wasn't for her father who followed Yang Chongyuan to conquer the world, why would he have the position of servant archery today? Now, seeing that his good son made the first contribution to the suppression of the rebellion in the southwest, he was named a marquis. , I've grown my eyesight, and I dare to think about Ah Man and attack her idea?"

Hearing this, Li Sui, who was standing outside the curtain at the moment, was immediately surprised.

If she didn't understand the meaning of it at this moment, she would be living in vain.

But she clearly remembered that it had never happened in her previous life.

But after a second thought, she understood.
